Volume One
by

Science Fiction
Publication Date: October 1, 2024
Page count: 190 pages
SYNOPSIS:
To the people of Earth, it is generally agreed that there is no sight more
extraordinary than that of their human cousins on the distant colony of
Aranae jumping onto the backs of giant spiders and riding off as if going to
a picnic.
To the people of Aranae, it means freedom. But for The Provenance,
their Earth rulers, one of their colonies entertaining thoughts of liberty
makes them uncomfortable.
In the first three Spiderboy adventures comprising Volume 1, we follow the
sixteen-year-old runaway, Haley as she discovers for herself the meaning of
freedom.
1. Haley’s First Spider Bite.
Billionaire’s daughter Haley Morgan joins forces with an unlikely
ally in an escaped convict on a quest to track down and apprehend a
dangerous outlaw while at the same time dodge the spiderboy search party
sent to catch Haley and return her home. And as in all
young-woman-joins-up-with-escaped-prisoner stories, things are bound to get
out of hand.
2. Malady in Savoy.
Continuing her quest, Haley takes a job as a showgirl in the city of Savoy where she becomes the object of mistaken identity, gets caught up in interstellar intrigue and falls for a roguish fugitive agent from Earth. Shape-shifting does have its drawbacks.
3. Along Came a Spider.
Haley endures a marathon battle of survival with a monstrous Trap Door
spider that is determined to pin the girl on its venom-laced fangs.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Glenn Thomas’s life path has been a meandering one, setting new life
goals at various points along the way, gaining knowledge in art,
photography, filmmaking, driving commercial vehicles, and ultimately,
writing both screenplays and prose. As a self-described
“high-functioning daydreamer,” Glenn often finds contentment in
self-imposed isolation, in conversations with an eclectic array of
characters and personalities in universes of his creation. Once in a
while, he writes their stories into scripts and novels to share with the
world.
From a young age, those who spent time with Glenn quickly recognized his
remarkable gift of daydreaming. According to his first-grade report
card, his teacher, Mrs. Haslett, wrote, “Glenn is on cloud
nine.” With that ringing endorsement from one of his earliest
admirers, Glenn has made his circuitous path to this time and place to make
some practical use of this often-misunderstood gift. With a nostalgic
smile to his past, Glenn created his film production company, Cloud 9
Filmworks, shortly after completing film school in 2005, which has now
expanded in 2024 to Cloud 9 Press to oversee his books.
Glenn lives in the Los Angeles area, and when he’s not writing, he
works as a driver for a major motion picture studio where the real
money’s at. His first self-published work was a series of short
science fiction stories called The Spiderboys of Aranae, released in 2015
and revised in 2024. Also, in 2024, the first book in a science
fiction series titled The Stars Rain Down debuted. Set in the same
universe as Spiderboys, SRD has strong connections with the earlier work,
and fans of one book will enjoy the other.
